Zankyou no Terror




Synopsis

In an alternate version of the present, Tokyo has been decimated by a shocking terrorist attack, and the only hint to the identity of the culprit is a bizarre video uploaded to the internet. The police, baffled by this cryptic clue, are powerless to stop the paranoia spreading across the population.

While the world searches for a criminal mastermind to blame for this tragedy, two mysterious children—children who shouldn't even exist—masterfully carry out their heinous plan. Cursed to walk through this world with the names Nine and Twelve, the two combine to form "Sphinx," a clandestine entity determine to wake the people from their slumber—and pull the trigger on this world.

I watched the first episode yesterday, and I've got to say, it got me hooked! The way that the events played out, it was fantastic! I can tell that it's going to be good. :P
Some of the hacks that I like:



I also support Pokemon Liquid Crystal, Glazed, and a few others who either have large banners or none at all.
I'm often not on, but when I am, I show my support in likes :-D

First episode already got me hooked. It's certainly got those vibes emitting from it. Plus, the artstyle gets a plus point from me.

One of the standouts of the season, no doubt about it. The art and animation was top-notch, and was more reminiscent of what one would see in a film production.

(I even reviewed it last night.)

This has an interesting premise... I'll give it a watch but I'm not sure if I'll love it or hate it.

I liked the first episode a lot; the main characters seem interesting and the premise is intriguing at the very least. Thriller's without a doubt my favorite genre anyway. Definitely gonna be watching this anime.

The art looks like Cencoroll but it doesn't have HanaKana... conflicted... should I watch it or not...?

My love for this series is getting bigger and bigger. Since I saw the PV months ago I was exicted and lucky me I wasn't wrong.

It feels so real. It doesn't have flashy characters with whacky colored hair, you just see some teens. They perfectly blend into society. It's awesome that they actually took their time to research stuff.(About how the bomb worked and explaining it and the Tor browser, which is a real thing)

I definitely agree. The production values were sky-high. I was surprised at how good the damn thing looked. Seriously. (will get back to you on your review in due time :p)

Definitely my top pick this season. Female lead's dialogues are kinda cringe-worthy but that's about the only -ve point I have against this show. I love the OP. And the ED. God. That ED is so damn beautiful. Really interested to see what route this show takes from here onwards.

Yeah, Lisa's definitely the weakest part of the show, though I understand the need to have a character to serve as an audience surrogate, plus the writers may go in an interesting direction with her, who knows at this point.

I feel like she is gonna have a huge change. We have seen so far in the first 2 episodes that she pretty much hates her life. Mainly because bullying(as seen in episode 1), something like I don't know eating disorder(again was seen in episode 1) and of course her crazy/over protective mother(as seen in episode 2). I think she is gonna break/snap and join them. But that's purely a speculation of course. But that seems like the most reasonable thing that should happen.

1080p torrent of Episode 2 wasn't set up yet.

It's sad how I'm restricted by these things lol
You know it's just upscaled 720p in most cases, right? :D

Episode 2 was ok. I guess it's just that the concept of experimented upon teens trying to upend the existing peaceful society of Japan doesn't really resonate as much. I've kinda gotten past my anarchist phase LOL. I'm heck of a lot more supportive of the establishment nowadays hahaha.

Even though they might be trying to minimize casualties and are just trying to flush out 5 wherever she is, it's annoying as heck that they disregard the political ramifications of such actions. Then again this is just anime so most viewers don't really care if the fictional Japanese Diet passes PATRIOT Act like anti-terrorism laws curbing civil liberties. @[email protected]

Dat hype and edgyness :P

Anyways seems to be turning into another Detective vs. Terrorist plot. Gotta see more on how it develops.

And it seems they were orphans turned into experiments. I wonder if that Diet Secretary's death is connected to this. Kinda obvious twist if they bring it up.

I kind of like the premise a little bit only because the two boys' motives interest me, but the main girl is the worst part of the show. She is so generic and doesn't even seem to be what the story revolves around, and I'm still not entirely sure what she's doing here, but whatever. I saw the first couple of episodes, and since it's only 11 I think I'll be watching this to the end unless something really stupid happens.

This is more intense than Death Note already.
I guess it's the bombs and the riddles, eh?

But we're not seeing any gambit pileups so far, because that's the highlight of Death Note. L and Light making gambits that pile up with each others that it became a big whop of confusion for the readers.

And yeah, the main girl protagonist is terrible imo. We probably haven't seen much about her though, aside from the bullying and the obsessive mother. Eh, she already ran away from home anyway, as I expected after seeing her mother, so I hope at least something happens to her.
